Here's the final installment of my March Paper Pumpkin 'Glittered Greetings" cards. Each one starts with the kit card base, adding a little of this and a little of that.
This one features the wood cut 'congrats' inked up with Daffodil Delight, as is the tag in the lower right. Don't forget to sponge around the edges. Background design was created using Off the Grid (annual catalog) with Smoky Slate and the random spots stamp from the Paper Pumpkin Welcome kit inked in both Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral.
I think this one is fun, Gather up a variety of texture/background/fill-in stamps (these all came from Paper Pumpkin kits); stamp in complimentary colors. Punch out with various sizes of circle punches. Create a Whisper White mat using your Big Shot and favorite embossing folder (here I used Decorative Dots, which will be available in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog). Mount circles using your favorite adhesive . Add a strip or two of Washi tape, like this one from the Retro Fresh line in our Occasions catalog (available through June 1). Notice how the colors of the tape match the circle and card base? That is one of the big reasons I love Stampin' Up! products.
I saved my favorite for last. So simple, yet so lovely. Fresh but at the same time vintage-y. Ink 'So Very Grateful ' flowers in Basic Black. Watercolor flowers and leaves using markers and Blender Pens. Here I chose Wisteria Wonder, Wild Wasabi, and Calypso Coral. The tag and flower centers are done in Pumpkin Pie.
We thoroughly enjoyed this kit. Already have word my next is on its way. Can hardly wait to see the fun that awaits.
Until the next time, may all your days be colorful ones.
